The plot of the movie follows Hugo's novel closely, except for the differences noted below.

Les Misérables is a 1952 film adaptation of the novel Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. It was directed by Lewis Milestone, and featured Michael Rennie as Jean Valjean, Robert Newton as Javert, Sylvia Sidney as Fantine, Debra Paget as Cosette, Edmund Gwenn as the bishop, Cameron Mitchell as Marius, Elsa Lanchester as Madame Magloire and James Robertson Justice as Robert (Fauchelevent).

Les Misérables is a 1995 movie written and directed by Claude Lelouch. Set in France during World War II, it concerns a poor and illiterate man Henri Fortin (Jean-Paul Belmondo) who is introduced to Victor Hugo's classic novel Les Misérables and begins to see parallels between it and his own life.

Les Misérables is a 1998 film version of Victor Hugo's 1862 novel of the same name, directed by Bille August. It stars Liam Neeson, Geoffrey Rush, Claire Danes and Uma Thurman.

As in the original novel, the story line follows the adult life of Jean Valjean (Liam Neeson), an ex-convict (paroled following 19 years of hard labor, for stealing bread) pursued by police Inspector Javert (Geoffrey Rush). The movie is relatively true to Hugo's original novel, but shortens and simplifies the story considerably, and leaves out several important characters and scenes from the book.

Through the kindness of a bishop that Valjean was robbing, Valjean starts his life anew, becoming a wealthy industrialist, and a mayor, eventually befriending Fantine, a single mother turned prostitute, played by Uma Thurman. At Fantine's death, the Mayor agrees to raise her very young daughter, Cosette, while he goes into hiding from Javert. Many years later, the adolescent Cosette, played by Claire Danes, falls in love with an anarchist Marius (Hans Matheson). By this time, the trail of Valjean is cold, and Javert is an undercover insurrectionist trying to undermine the organization to which Marius belongs. Soon, however, Javert and Valjean face each other again. When the insurrectionists discover the identity of Javert, Valjean uses his influence with Marius to have Javert turned over to him, whereupon, Valjean frees Javert. The movie ends with Javert, unable to deal with the goodness shown him by Valjean, committing suicide.

The movie greatly reduces the roles of many of the characters in the books, especially the Thénardiers, who are only seen when Valjean buys Cosette off them. Éponine doesn't appear to a great extent either, only in the scene where she and Azelma are playing at the table, in the Thénardier Inn, whilst their servant Cosette makes them stockings, as their mother calls her names.

Les Misérables is a 1934 Drama film based on the novel of the same name by Victor Hugo written and directed by Raymond Bernard and starred Harry Baur as Jean Valjean and Charles Vanel as Javert. Arthur Honegger wrote the score. The film is also considered by the few fans of the novel that have seen the film (the film is rarely seen in its full version outside of France) to be the greatest ever adaptation of the novel, due to its in-depth development of the themes and characters, and its more faithful take on the book, unlike most adaptations.

Les Misérables is a 1982 French drama film directed by Robert Hossein. It is one of the numerous screen adaptation of the eponymous novel by Victor Hugo.

The lives of numerous people over the course of 20 years in 19th century France, weaved together by the story of an ex-convict named Jean Valjean on the run from an obsessive police inspector, who pursues him for only a minor offense. Written by bdsproductions

After stealing a loaf a bread to feed a starving family, Jean Valjean is sentenced to ten years at hard labor as a galley slave. There he is taught to read and write by another prisoner and meets Javert, an obsessive policeman who was himself born to convict parents aboard a prison ship. After his release, Valjean is treated as a pariah but finally finds shelter in the home of a kindly bishop. Valjean repays the clergyman's generosity by stealing his silver plate. He is apprehended by the authorities and returned to the bishop but is amazed when the kindly old priest tells them that the valuable plates were a gift. This becomes a transforming experience for the ex-convict, who establishes himself under an assumed name in a small country village as factory manager and ultimately mayor. Unfortunately the newly-promoted Javert is assigned there as chief inspector. Although he doesn't recognize his old nemesis at first, the two clash over Javert's overzealous prosecution of the letter of the law. When a mentally challenged homeless man is arrested and accused of being Valjean, the conscience-ridden parole violator reveals his true identity to the court and the already suspicious Javert. Valjean is forced to abandon his property and with his adopted daughter again flee the relentless pursuit of Javert. Written by Gabe Taverney (duke1029@aol.com)
